Many weeks ago, bsplayer 494 was released in bsplayer.com-nightly builds.
This build comes with OGM subs support.
This means that you can render the subs without the filters, only with the bsplayer internal render.
It works fine, but not in all cases... i have made a lot of tests and i have decided to publish my conclusions in here, i will post later in bsplayer.com :cool:

let´s go with...

BSPLAYER 494 & OGM COMPENDIUM :)

Tests made with Xvid-OGMs, using koepis unstable 27-1-2003 & ffdshow 3-1-2003 to decode. W98SE & DX8.1

If you use VORBIS audio streams:
In overlay mode 2 it shows subtitles rendered by subtitds only if subtitds is installed. The first subtitle stream is always showed by default.
In overlay mode 1 it shows subtitles rendered by bsplayer, but there are error with some spanish characters (¿¡áéíóú) The errors exists only if subtitds is installed. If you uninstall subtitds, the error disappear

If you use AC3 audio streams:
In overlay mode 2 it shows subtitles rendered by subtitds only if subtitds is installed. The first subtitle stream is always showed by default.
In overlay mode 1 it hangs randomly, about 90%, with subtitds installed or without it.
Always with AC3 streams there are freezes and the seeking is slow (I think this is normal qith AC3-OGMs, i don´t remember in wich post i readed it)

If you use AC3 & VORBIS audio streams mixed in the same OGM:
In overlay mode 2 the two streams are played at a time.
In overlay mode 1 hangs, hangs, hangs....

If you use whatever:
In overlay mode 2 it hangs sometimes when closing it.. maybe 60% of hangs.
The only way to don´t start with the first subtitle stream by default, is starting the file with an .ini that includes:
[Subtitles]
DefaultSub=0

Well, that´s it i hope this information saves you for some testing.

Regards and excuse my bad english.
